BOOK
REVIEWS
The Flanders Family, from Europe to America.
Compiled from original records by Edith Flanders Dunbar,
Manchester, Vt. Published by Tuttle Publishing Company, Rutland,
Vt., 1935. Price, $15.00.
This volume contains, Descendants of Steven
Flanders of Salisbury, Massachusetts, 791 pages; Flanders of
Undetermined Descent, 76 pages; Variations in Name, 45 pages;
Foreign Research, 30 pages; Historical Background, 7 pages;
Bibliography, 21 pages; Index, 82 pages. Here is a genealogy that
is the result of painstaking and scholarly research and will at
once take its place as the authority on this numerous family. Not
only is this an exhaustive work, but the style is pleasing, even
to those who have no connection with the family. While listing the
honors that have been carried by those of the Flanders name, the
weaknesses of others of this clan have not been spared. Heartily
recommended to genealogical libraries.
